Good value for the price.
Pros:

The staff were very communicative and helped with luggage storage as well as a late check out. The location was very convenient as well.

Cons:

While the property is very fun and eclectic, some of the amenities in the rooms are a bit dated.

Good for a short stay, but much room for improvement.
Pros:

The atmosphere of the entire building was so fun! It felt really boutique and definitely Victorian. The décor and furniture in the common areas/hallways were beautiful.

Cons:

The sheets and blankets on the bed did not seem clean, and I felt uncomfortable sleeping on them. They had a stale, dirt-like smell to them, and the pillowcases had stains and what looked like pet hair on them. The bath towels provided did not exactly meet my needs (no small washcloths were provided), and they had a bit of a mildew smell.

Great stay for 1 night.
Pros:

Beautiful place, I love the vintage look.

Cons:

The floor was not swept or clean, including the sitting area. The tub was not clean. There was trash and nail clippings on the floor and a dirty q-tip in the bathroom. Beautiful place but not as clean.

Great value for the stay.

Nice old decor inside. Bad vibes outside.
Pros:

The building smelled quite musty in places but overall I liked the interior.

Cons:

I did not realize this building is on street with a lot of homeless people. I felt very uncomfortable going in and out of the building. I could hear people yelling outside throughout the night. I chose to end my stay a day early because of these things.
